You would think Coke knows what theyre doing, but how the hell can they pay $4B for a company that did only $300mil in sales? What am I missing? [/ QUOTE ] The ability to sell Vitamin Water in Coke vending machines, of which there are about 80 trillion. Also, even if this was true, it wouldn't make 50 cent the most successful drink investor/musician. Kenny G was one of the original 10 investors in Starbucks.

The tour guide pointed out Bill Gates' compound, other Microsoft mansions, and then Kenny G's huge place. I didn't think that many people had terrible taste in music to afford him that house.

Or a grain of crack cocaine in this instance.

Re: 50 cent makes $400 mill on sale of vitamin water
Puf,
"I didn't think that many people had terrible taste in music to afford him that house." Kenny G is one of the biggest artists of all time. He has sold over 50 million records. He does not need any investment income to be super-super-super rich.

[/ QUOTE ] But why not just start making their own water with vitamins (brand it Dasani Vitamin or whatever) and putting it in their vending machines? It can't really be that hard to figure out how to put vitamins in water and I'm skeptical that the Vitamin Water brand name is worth $4B.
